This is a nice addition with the recent patch. It will be expensive to simply buy these and avoid raising reputation through quests.

It will however, be a very nice boost to raising Hodir reputation even quicker with the inevitability of obtaining these from doing the daily quests.

Exalted? Awesome. Sell them on the Auction House! Alternatively, I've been seeing many players asking for these in the general chat for Storm Peaks. There's a good chance you could even advertise there occasionally! :]

The relics are still soulbound, you can't sell them.

This quest is especially useful for those who are just starting out the Hodir rep grind. If you do a few of these turn ins early on, you can quickly move to friendly, honored, and eventually revered. Each new level of reputation allows you to complete more quests. This means that the amount of rep available for each day of dailies increases as your reputation increases. At revered, a dozen turn ins is only worth about 1 day's dailies, at friendly, it's the same as doing dailies for several days straight. Do this quest at the beginning and then let the dailies take over.

Comment by Rosenrott

so its not one of those where you can only turn these quests in until, say, friendly then you cant do it anymore? doesnt sound like it with the comments but just wanted to verify.

Comment by ravari

Please stop marking down correct information. The above statement currently still stands accurate.

Comment by zakarthur

As prices go down because more people are hitting exalted with these guys ive seen the big stacks of em go for about 70 silver at least on my server. I would still suggest doing the dailies to rep up especially if you still need your epic flying training.

don't forget to do all the quests in dun nifflehem before doing this becasue they unlock like 2-3 more dailies.

Gives 650 rep as of 3.3

Comment by pholiage

Completing this quest now gives you 650 Sons of Hodir Reputation for each 10 Relic of Ulduar.

Comment by Frazle

Especially since the quest line that opens up the Sons of Hodir as a faction lands you at honored and not friendly, as it was before 3.3.

All that being said... if you have an 80 main that did the much slower rep grind already then with the 3.3 change that introduced BOA head and shoulder enchants (meaning you can buy a chant that requires exalted status and then mail it to any other toon you have on the realm) its not so important to get the rest to exalted status.

But if you have a JC or a Tailor then yes getting exalted is still necessary if you want to access the patterns:

Design: Smooth Autumn's Glow

Pattern: Glacial Bag

But there are still far faster ways to get exalted...

Dungeon finder for heroics... Emblem of Triumph have become SO easy to come by this would be a much faster way to attain exalted status.

1 Emblem of Triumph will buy you one of the following which give you 520 rep per...

Argent Crusade Commendation Badge

Ebon Blade Commendation Badge

Kirin Tor Commendation Badge

Sons of Hodir Commendation Badge

Wyrmrest Commendation Badge

So.. 33000 / 520 = 63.46 (64) emblems

or

39000 (starting at friendly) / 520 = 75 emblems

And that can be attained in under a week by just doing a 3 or 4 heroics a day if you average 6 emblems per random heroic since the fact that you do a random gets you 2 emblems right off the bat and then 1 from each of the 3 to 5 bosses found in the dungeon itself and I'm not even counting the rep you'd get by wearing one of the factions tabards.

Yea 3.3 has made rep grinding anything BUT a grind

Comment by Wurael

Its start in Honored in 3.3, if you do A Spark of Hope quest.

Comment by Lantash

I just did some rep turn-ins on these. Its 650 per 10 for everyone but humans.

Comment by sh0rtie24

Comment by MirrorLake

(seriously use it--it saved 10-15 minutes of clicking), I was able to go from Hated to Exalted in 2-3hrs. 100g for ~450 relics on my server's AH.

Comment by Dooienub

But what to do when you are at war with this faction? Can I still go there and turn in the relics? I got about 500 of them.

Comment by Troopcd

Recently went there as a level 80 Human Mage. Starting from Revered toExalted, I was getting 715 Reputation per 10 Relics.

Not sure if this is because of class/race, or from when I began, but thereputation appears to have been raised.

Comment by Marlo

As a human priest i did more than enough of the hodir quests while leveling which landed me about 4k into revered so only had to get 17k or so rep for exalted.

As a human i gained 715 rep per hand in (Diplomacy racial giving you a 10% reputation buff) and from that worked out that i only had to do about 25 or so hand ins. so 250 relics + 2 minutes to hand them all in using MirrorLakes macro + 70g got me exalted :)

Comment by Valont2234

With the quest chain, i needed less than 600 of these, as i was already revered upon completion, but again, this is due to being a human and so for other races will be different.

Comment by drakesbane

So im stuck. i am hated with the sons of hodir. and i have done 87/100 quest and have flown all over trying to see if there something i missed. im try to get my rep t exalted anyone no how i do that?

Comment by DKingIT

As of patch 5.0x This quest is one of the fastest ways to level a guild giving 60K guild xp for very cheap until word gets out.

Comment by rogrogg

My Hodir rep was maxiumum Exalted, and turning in this quest yielded no guild rep or hodir rep. /sadface

Comment by Barleduq

As of patch 5.1, and possibly earlier, the script in MirrorLake's comment does not do the entire process of turning in a set of 10 in one click. You must right-click on Lillehoff, and then press the macro three times, for each turn-in.

Some, but not much, clicking saved.

I'm at Revered. 358 or 357 for each turn in. (it flips between the two)

Comment by Zachonex667

I believe this no longer gives guild XP as of patch 5.4.7. After buying and farming a bunch of Relics of Ulduar, grinding through quests on my toon with my friend to be able to turn them in, and turning a bunch in to see no guild exp increase, I have sads.

(At least on my server) You have to use SelectGossipActiveQuest(index), not SelectGossipAvailableQuest(index):
